Handling and features This 8mm fisheye lens provides a diagonal field of view of 180 degrees on an APS-C mirrorless camera, sports a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture and is available for around £270 for Sony NEX and Samsung NX cameras in a black or silver finish.
The tested lens fares a bit worse than the Samyang 7.5 mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye MFT for mirrorless cameras with a Micro 4/3 sensor, so praised by us. The difference is especially noticeable when you compare the results in vignetting and work against bright light.

noticeable vignetting,, no depth of field scale.
The exceptionally low price of £270 for the performance this lens delivers makes this lens a simple choice for those in the market for a fisheye lens for their Sony NEX, or Samsung NX cameras.

Stiff manual focus ring, Although acceptable, CA levels may pose problem in very large prints if left uncorrected
Though manual, this lens continues to impress me in situations where I need to go as wide as possible. I have the Fujinon XF10-24 f/4, and yet this Samyang fisheye is a go-to lens for those special occasions where you need to get all of the scene into the frame. Sharp, tiny and well built.
Not a lens that I use often, but it delivers the goods. Very sharp lens (or is it the enormous depth of field?) comparable to my OEM Fujinon lenses.Who needs AF when DOF is from here to eternity?
This is a great lens! It is sharp and has a good feel, small size, not too heavy.
Nice lense, well built. Pictures are crisp. I recommanded it. I'm using it with a Fujifilm X-T1
